Custom RLC Winch Bumper on 1998 XLT

Gotta ask more questions.... Your initial drawing shows two breather holes in the front of the bumper, yet I don't see any in the finished product. Is there a reason they were deleted? I like the idea of extra air getting through to the transmission cooler.

He said he could do the holes.
In the final layout I thought the lower section was a little small for them and I thought they would look odd or too narrow.
My transmission cooler is directly behind the grill on the right side, above the line of the bumper itself. You can see it in some of the pics.

Hmmm..... Perhaps if I don't have my winch tray as low as yours, I'd have more room for the vents. My Cooler is a large one and is mounted right behind the vents on the factory bumper, maybe a little higher than the factory vents. I rigged a deflector to move any air coming into the vents up and toward the Transmission cooler.

ahh well, got more thinking to do. Thanks for the quick answer! Really like the bumper.

James is really good about working with you, I'm sure he'd give you exactly what you want.

Thanks!
